Boswellia MEGA AKBA Liposomal, 60 Caps

Boswellia extract comes from an oleo-gum resin known as frankincense, produced by a tree called Boswellia serrata that grows in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Frankincense has a rich history, and was traded in the Arabian area for more than 6,000 years. Due to its special properties, the Egyptians used frankincense to purify the body during the mummification procedure. Those familiar with the Bible, will recognize frankincense as one of the gifts offered to Jesus by the three magi. Boswellia serrata is also one of the oldest and most valued herbs in Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine), and used for centuries in Asian and African folk medicine.

Recent scientific investigations indicate that one of the most relevant group of compounds in Boswellia Serrata resin are the pentacyclic triterpenic acids called Boswellic Acids.  According to the scientific literature, one of the most outstanding Boswellic Acids is AKBA (Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), that has been identified as the main compound responsible for the connection of Boswellia with its major health support.

While the academic and clinical findings related to its potential are numerous (nearly 1000 published studies listed on PubMed) and many are often outstanding, supporting its traditional use, inline with the European regulation, these findings cannot be addressed here.
